AI rises to expectations — and so do organisations

by Chris Hornby

20 July 2026

At school, children generally perform to the standards their teachers expect from them. Many studies have confirmed this: we rise to expectations.

Interestingly, this applies to AI adoption as well. A recent study [1] finds that AI is more useful to those businesses who have high expectations.

This means the human side of AI adoption is every bit as important as the technical.

“as with prior transformative technologies, the impact of AI on work and organizations is not only related to what the technology can do but also what managers choose to do with it”
